For several years we have been dealing with our generation change, which was planned for November 2020. For me it was always important to create a prepared transition for our employees and partners so that they do not feel the personnel change at the top of our company. With son Stefan and son-in-law Michael, two of the next generation have decided to continue the company after my time in the spirit of family values. Both of them have been working in leading positions in the company for many years and guarantee a continuation of our success story. The original handover date has now been brought forward by half a year. Stefan and Michael have proven during the Corona phase that our company is in the best hands. I am proud that the two of them have taken over the new task with pleasure. I say THANK YOU to all my companions. Thanks to your support, we have together succeeded in building a special company.

  • The Art of Confectionery
    The Art of Confectionery Ivan Day (Part of this essay was used in the exhibition catalogue The Pleasures of the Table by Peter Brown and Ivan Day (York Civic Trust) © Ivan Day Introduction In the eighteenth century, the confectioner was the most highly regarded of all tradesmen involved in the preparation of food. His skills were considered to be of a more elevated order than those of a mere cook or baker and if he was successful in his craft he could command not only impressive financial rewards, but a respectable social standing usually denied to other food professionals. Some confectioners found employment in the households of the aristocracy. Others ran their own shops in the cities and large towns and sold a remarkable variety of sweetmeats, biscuits and ices, as well as the elaborate table furnishings necessary for the lavish entertainments of the rococo age. The range of luxury food items available from these outlets, can be seen from the announcement on the trade card of Domenico Negri, a particularly successful Italian confectioner who traded from the sign of the Pot and Pineapple in Berkeley Square in the 1760’s: “all Sorts of English, French and Italian wet and dry’d Sweet Meats, Cedrati and Bergamot Chips, Naples Diavolini and Diavolini, All sorts of Biskets & Cakes, fine and Common Sugar Plums, Syrup of Capilaire, Orgeate and Marsh Mallow, Ghimauve or Lozenges for Colds & Cough, All Sorts of Ice, Fruits, & Creams in the best Italian manner, Likewise furnishes Entertainments in Fashions, Sells all sorts of Desarts, Flower-frames & Glass-work at the Lowest Price”.1 These exclusive items were not just available in the capital.

  • Gluten Free Candy List “ROCK”TOBER 2007
    Gluten Free Candy List “ROCK”TOBER 2007 Disclaimer: This list is for reference only and the user should contact manufacturers directly. It is a guideline and the user accepts full responsibility for use of it. At the time of it’s posting, it is believed to be accurate with current gluten-free information. As a gluten-free consumer, you are responsible for making your own food selections. I am not a medical expert; I’m a mom of a Celiac first grader who is always on a quest for gluten-free knowledge. Notes: Please beware of candy that is not in its “normal shape.” Often times, that means the ingredients are different, and could very well contain gluten. Bags of mixed treats that do have gluten containing treats that touch each other should be discarded due to cross-contamination. If there is a treat that may not be listed on here, do not be alarmed… just check with the manufacturer. I couldn’t get them all on here and I’m sure there are some I have forgotten or overlooked. Thanks: I would like to thank all of the people who have shared information to make this list possible… including several ROCK leaders (Sue & Elissa of NJ ROCK, Carrie of Reno ROCK, Melissa of TampaBay ROCK, Becky of San Diego ROCK) who consistently share their information with me and our ROCK Northern Virginia chapter. I’d also like to thank Lindsay Amadeo of Iowa (who maintains a wonderful GF commercial product listing which includes many tricks and treats). This year we also had the help of Pat Mazza Vlamis.
